By Colter Hettich, Features Editor Fox News and CNN do not have flags. The Orange County Register and the New York Times do not have anthems or salutes. Do not pledge allegiance to them. Do not swallow every word that comes from any media outlet without question. Consider the cold, hard fact that humans write every word of the news - humans ... [Read More…]
True service avoids public celebration
By Sondra Rodriguez, Page Editor ACU forces us to serve.

Older Facebook participants taint experience
By Sommerly Simser, Multimedia Managing Editor Read Comments No college student is complete without his or her expensive textbooks, caffeinated drinks, laptop, iPod, student ID and, of course, a Facebook account. When Facebook launched five years ago, it was the social networking tool, almost like a little black book or phone book, for the elite ... [Read More…]
Student body must choose admirable leaders
When voting for the Executive Officers Election begins Tuesday, we, the students, will have more than the opportunity to cast a ballot for Students' Association Congress officers. We will have the opportunity to raise our voices and give a clear mandate to the future student leaders of ACU. Undeniably, the 2008-09 SA Congress has had a turbulent ... [Read More…]
